Sublime Text 3 is one of my favorite text editors.  Apparently Sublime Text 4 is out now and the automatic upgrade will actually move from 3 to 4 which then requires a new license.  In order to avoid that, add the following line to preferences:

"update_check": false

I have visions of automating my pool equipment.  At some point, I'll need to upgrade to a variable speed pump and that combined with solar will require some sort of brains to ensure the pump is running at full speed when the solar is engaged.  This post is going to be a work in progress to document related information as I come across it.

I started receiving notifications that my docker.img file on Unraid was filling up.  After looking into it some, I found that the MQTT container was logging crazy amounts of data (15+GB).  Turns out there is a parameter that you can add to limit the log size (for Docker containers).  I added this to the docker configuration:

--log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1

then restarted and bam!  Back to a reasonable size.
